I take it all your dogs are locked in a kennel or walked on the lead till they are a year old then Because any dog with any go in it at all will hunt from an early age and those pups that show potential at an early generaly become my favourites.I obviously wouldnt expect to much if anything from a pup but a dog that is acustomed to the rough and tumbles sights and smells of the countryside will be a better prospect than one thats been pissing up lamposts and walked on concrete.Use your common sense.JMHO

Taking a young pup out just for an hour to watch his olders and betters cant be all wrong just use your head.

Should of been more patient in the begining not at the end.JMHO

Yes almost fully recovered thanks Kye, just in time to get out for the best time of the season lol. Jordan,ratkilla and Royston2 some good pics there and some good memories,tinged with a taste of bitter sadness looking at those older pics ,but such is life. A good day with plenty of laughs and excitement ,the foxes found in cover realy were sitting tight and the dogs were almost making contact before charlie could be persuaded to leave cover but then having to look at Roystons ugly mug all day myself can hardly blame them.

Makes a bit of a change from rabbiting,have a good time and tell us all about it when you get back.

I dont know why beddy/whippets are so popular when a beddy/greyhound would do a lot better and a lot more.JMHO

Very nice pup this would be ideal for ferreting bushing I wouldnt be suprised if in time she put bigger stuff in the bag either,but like Royston says there are no guarantees on that.No expense spared in rearing this litter.

A couple of well bred bullxgreyhounds and a few noisy bushing terriers would do the trick i would imagine.

I dont worry to much what cross it is as long as it realy lives to get its teeth into quarry .what quarry your choice. But Bullx or Bedlington/greyhound tend to suit me most.

Considering the terrier is only 15 months old the result is the only immportant thing,if she were mine I would be holding her back from hard work for a while.JMHO

Seen loads of roe munty taken seen a few fallow taken and some of them were hard work.But ive also seen a bullx bring down a full grown bullock single handed (bit lax on the stock breacking) so I would imagine there should be dogs that can take reds though never seen one.JMHO

If Bull crosses are regulary failing on fox i would take a closer look at the breeding.That probably goes for all the other mutts that are throwing the towel in.JMHO

Borders that have been bred from the right stuff have been as easy to enter as any other terrier a good terrier is a good terrier what ever the breed but crap is crap.

I dont like digging in sand to much risk of a cave in or suffocation to the terrier but when a dig in sand has been unavoidable I have always walked away clean looks like a dig to me in any case cant think of anybody stupid enough to go to all that effort for a pic.

Ive seen some very usefull hancock bred lurchers work, could make some one a very good hunting companion,good luck in finding her a good home.
